Colin Daly appointed to Circuit Court

The Government has agreed to nominate Judge Colin Daly (pictured), the current President of the District Court, for appointment as an ordinary judge to the Circuit Court.

There was a vacancy on the Circuit Court after the retirement of Judge Gerald Keys in May this year.

The Government has formally advised President Higgins of the nomination, in accordance with constitutional practice.

District Court President since 2019

Judge Daly was educated at Queen’s University in Belfast and entered the Roll of Solicitors in 1997. He was appointed to the District Court in 2012, and became President of the court last year.

During his years as a practising solicitor, he was managing solicitor of Northside Community Law Centre in Dublin, and also a director of the Northside Partnership in Coolock. He also served as Chair of the Limerick Law Centre Development Board
